That post issue only mentions the transition from a regular pointer to a text pointer. Nothing about it disappearing. So not sure if it’s the same.
Anyone else experiencing that the mouse visible when chromium-mir-kiosk starts and disappears a as soon there is mouse movement?

Is it possible to customise the Chromium somehow? Such as start page, switch off the reload that occurs now etc. Also, is there a way to hide the mouse pointer. On a touch screen there is obviously no need for a pointer.

I’m not familiar enough with the chromium-mir-kiosk snap to answer your questions about that. But…

greyback:

There are some configuration options in the snap, have a play!

…have you tried snap get chromium-mir-kiosk to see what these options are?

Using mir-kiosk from --edge it is possible to force the cursor off in the configuration file:

That denial should not be a problem. Did you snap connect chromium-mir-kiosk:wayland-socket-dir mir-kiosk:wayland-socket-dir and restart the two services? Or reboot? I just tried your steps on stable Core (edge isn’t necessary any more - but I checked, too) and it worked fine without --devmode.

We’re in a transition phase to remove the wayland-socket-dir plug/slot in favour of using the official wayland interface. You can try it with mir-kiosk and chromium-mir-kiosk from --channel edge/wayland-interface, that should all connect automatically and Just Work™ after installation. We will publish it to stable and beta, respectively, next week at the latest.

I found the settings fr the chromium-mir-kiosk. Thanks for that tip! I managed to remove the refresh time and alter the url. However the option for hiding the curser in the chromium-mir-kiosk didn’t have any effect.

So I tried to hide using your other tip but I can’t manage to get it working. The miral-kiosk.config doesn’t exist and even though I create a file with the line cursor=null the pointer remains visible.
I have refreshed to the --edge mir-kiosk.
Am I missing something?
